Is there some context I’m missing for what a cyberdeck is? I’ve heard similar terms in science fiction, but I don’t really grasp it beyond “weird laptop.”


Read Neuromancer, it's where this term is from. More broadly it evokes images of something maybe the size of a Casio keyboard (or a little smaller) crammed with VR gear and compute, which you "jack in" to use.


The ergonomics of this look sooooo bad.
